Common Questions and Answers about Dandruff and male pattern baldness

Male or female pattern baldness may follow a hereditary pattern. Treatment of the tinea and seborrheic dermatitis may help resolve the hair loss. Creams may not be sufficient for scalp infections. You may need oral antifungal therapy. But first a microscopic evaluation of the scalp scrapings may be done to ascertain the diagnosis.
My hair has been falling out rapidly for the past year, I've had dandruff my whole life and nothing has cured it. I'm a 22 year old male and have no family history of male pattern baldness, in fact the men in my family all have extremely thick black hair, including my grandfathers. but i found these red sores on my scalp, what do you think it is? Seborrhoeic Dermatitis ?
usually means male-pattern baldness, or permanent-pattern baldness. Male-pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Men who have this type of hair loss usually have inherited the trait. Men who start losing their hair at an early age tend to develop more extensive baldness. In male-pattern baldness, hair loss typically results in a receding hair line and baldness on the top of the head.
Some medicines can cause hair loss.
Wow, I have the same problem you have right down to the family history. No male-pattern baldness in the family, Dad losing his hair in his 60s, history of very thick hair. I've been losing hair for around 6 years now too and I'm 20, with very noticeable thinning. Dandruff, itching, everything. Hopefully someone posts on this with a clue as to what's happening.
Please check your MedHelp inbox. I sent you information that may be helpful to you. I do recommend that you work with a physician because, although these formulas are natural.... they can make you have herxing symptoms. The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction is due to organisms (particularly bacteria) dying off and when they are dying off, they release toxins in your body and so your symptoms are worse. Basically, you are detoxing. There are ways to handle the detoxing....
Hello,
From the pattern of baldness like it being hereditary, it sounds like male pattern baldness. Androgenic alopecia is a common form of hair loss and typically occurs in M shaped pattern.
Men who have this type of hair loss usually have inherited the trait. Other causes may be use of some drugs, infections and underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. A biopsy (taking a small sample of cells to examine under a microscope) of your scalp may be needed to establish the correct diagnosis.
Most men are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. It is the effect of hormones on the hair follicle that produces male pattern baldness. Testosterone, a hormone that is present in high levels in males after puberty, is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT has an adverse affect on the hair follicles.
Was your hair loss 20 years ago and the reason for transplant due to hair loss associated with thyroid dysfunction or male pattern baldness? If the latter, and if your thyroid medication is adequate, what you are currently experiencing may be due to male pattern baldness. Have you asked your doctor about this?
t that great and are VERY costly. Shave your head down and get use to your new look and enjoy it!! It will grow on you and sooner than later you will be very happy with what you have, I mean don't have, haha. Sorry, just teasing but don't be too stressed out over this!! Genetics has a lot to do with it and you can't look at your grandfather's on your mother's side blah blah blah. Means nothing. Don't try to figure it out.
Hello,
It can be due to alopecia aertea but in males androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness is an important cause to be ruled out for baldness in the middle of the head. It is mainly genetic but sometimes hormonal imbalance like overproduction of dihydrotestosterone and thyroid hormones irregularities also play an important role.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Ugh, I'm very sorry. Male pattern baldness is indeed often hereditary. What about some of the hair growth products like 'rogaine'. Have you tried any of those?
Hello,
From these symptoms it is less likely to be telogen effluvium and can be male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is usually an inherited trait and men start lossing hair at an early age leading to extensive baldnesss. Since the nutritional deficiency is also a common cause of hairloss,patient is required to take food rich in protien,vitamins(mainly vit A and vit C) and other micronutrient like zinc,iron and copper.
